I'm trying to teach Alan that taking your wife on a Long range trip enhances your marriage  

My wife can't get enough of long range fishing.

Not even  3 DAY?   1.5 DAY?   1 DAY NorCal ALbie trip?

[alantani]

not even!   

look, she's japanese also.  she gets seasick just looking at the boat.  she's allergic to fish.  of course, ben knows all of this.  he's just trying to stir the pot!!!

Fabulous trip and report!  The food looked "deadly" and by that I mean it in the best way. The chef does amazing work in a galley. You guys must have waddled off the boat!

the Kid was something else, too. great angler.  I dug the quasi-kendo match at the end. I studied Kendo for a number of years until a fellow kendoka ( we called him Ben- the wacky Iraqi) went nuts on me during a match and popped my eardrum. Had to quit for 10 weeks to let it heal and then my work and personal life changed my schedule to eliminate the only evening kendo was offered in Raleigh.  Still practice shinkendo and iaido at home.

My wife wants me to head west and south to get some fresh tuna......hmmmm....might have to sign up on a long range trip.

Alan got schooled in "Bendo" on our trip.    Was finally great to see him hooked up and pulling on real fish rather than virtual fishing from his computer.

Enjoy a preview of our upcoming DVD featuring a cameo appearance by Alan:

That a great trailer...when does the movie come out?

[tcat103]

This year I have over 20GB of video and 800 photos to sort out.  Last year I put in over 50 hours of editing and post production so it will be awhile.  

Alan has a copy of last year's charter DVD if you'd like to see it.

Here's our 2012 DVD:
